Dr. Geeta Shroff who originates from Delhi, India will speak in Las Vegas, June 26, 2008.

Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) therapy is changing the face of modern medicine as we know it. Dr.Geeta Shroff has developed the technology to isolate Human Embryonic Stem Cells, culture them, prepare them for clinical application, and store them in ready-to-use form with a shelf life of six months. Further, this technology is being used clinically to treat patients suffering from various conditions all presently categorized as incurable:spinal cord injury, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cardiac conditions & many more.In more than five years of clinical applications in over 500 patients, the results are nothing short of astounding:patients paralyzed from the neck downwards have resumed function of their arms and are taking steps; and diabetics on high doses of insulin are now leading lives insulin free.

l Dr. Shroff’s technology involves the use of only ONE EMBRYO. Once the Human Embryonic Stem Cells are isolated, they can be cultured indefinitely. Shroff has isolated the hESC lines from a single spare throwaway embryo after an IVF cycle. The embryo was used with full consent and would have been discarded in any case. Shroff’s technology avoids controversial and ethical issues as there is no repeated need for embryos. Theoretically, one cell line can treat the entire human population.

l The unique cell culture methodology makes the hESCs universally acceptable without the need for cross-matching, irrespective of gender, age , or race. No immunosuppressants are needed. There have been no side effects in over five years of therapeutic usage.

l Results from over 500 patients worldwide are documented and are reproducible.

l All patients’ progress has been closely monitored and recorded.Follow-up reports are current.

l State of the Art is underscored by GLP, GMP, GCP, BS EN ISO 9000:2001, BS EN ISO 13485 and BS EN ISO 14971 certification of the quality and safety management systems of the laboratory and clinic.

Having come this far, Dr. Geeta Shroff and her partnering physician, Dr. Ashish Verma, hope to take this technology forward so that in a short time it becomes the first line of treatment for many of mankind’s worst afflictions.

Speaking Venue: Thursday, June 26,2008:2:00 p.m., National Convention for the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) held at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada

Amanda Boxtel was the first United States Citizen to visit Dr. Shroff in Delhi, India.She has undergone three Human Embryonic Stem Cell (HESC) Treatments with Dr. Shroff from June 25, 2007 to the present day. Amanda who was a complete T11/12 spinal cord injury for 15 ½ years, is a paraplegic whose body is now awakening.She is compelled to share her experience with the world advocating Dr. Shroff’s treatment.Like Perry Cross, Amanda is defying the odds.

“My toes are moving, my bladder and bowels are beginning to function again, I have increased muscle power and sensation in my legs, and hope is now a part of my vocabulary!I have a newfound reason to not give up but live! Human Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy is Life Giving Life!”Amanda Boxtel

My History, My Story

On February 27, 1992 at the age of 24 I sustained a complete spinal cord injury at T11/12 (that is, no feeling or sensation at thoracic vertebra 11 & 12). I am able to recall the accident vividly in my mind's eye to this very day. I was downhill skiing. Everything happened in slow motion. A freak somersault and in a split second I shattered four vertebrae. It was as though somebody turned off a light switch. An electric current zapped through my legs and in an instant there was nothing.

15 1/2 Years with No Changes…

I have always been an active woman. For 15 1/2 years I sort out various alternative healing therapies yet I showed no improvement. Early on I tried standing tall in leg braces, but my efforts proved fruitless, plus I had a couple of horrible falls. Sitting simply became more functional. In August 2000 I was the recipient of the Vocare Bladder Implant, which helped me void my bladder using electrical stimulation. For 15 1/2 years I kept my legs supple and alive with various alternative healing therapies, yet I showed no improvement. I was paralyzed with no sensation or movement from the top of my pubic bone down. While I arrived at a place of acceptance with my paralysis, I have always had an uncanny insight that one magical day my legs would support me. Secretly, I never gave up hope.

HOPE Restored!

While my spinal cord injury took away my ability to walk, it didn't take away my ability to dream. TODAY I am turning my dream into my reality one baby step at a time.
On June 25, 2007 I was the first US Citizen to undergo Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Therapy with Dr. Geeta Shroff in Delhi, India.
During my initial two month visit, I not only witnessed astounding improvements in my own body, but with many patients who have life restored within their bodies and a newfound reason to not give up but LIVE!

New Sensations, New Muscle Power–I Am Defying the Odds!

I am compelled to share my experiences with the world. Since my first stem cell treatment in 2007, and after 15 1/2 years of being in a wheelchair I now have increased sensation with light touch and with deep sensation tingling all the way to my toes; my bladder and bowels are beginning to function again; and I have increased muscle power in my legs including gluteal muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors and abductors, and a flicker in my calf muscles too. Hope is now a part of my vocabulary!
